It’s within the deeper numbers, however, that the former Shakhtar Donetsk star’s impact stands out.

In the English top flight this term Willian’s xA90 (expected assists per 90) stands at 0.32, which is more than Hazard (0.24), Fabregas (0.31) and any Blues player who has featured in more than 500 minutes.

He has also averaged 3.07 key passes per 90, which is again greater than Hazard (2.99).
